But not all cleanses are created equal. While much of the hype around cleansing is connected to short-term programs like juice cleanses or fasting, their “quick fix” nature tends to dissipate over time. For example, juice cleanses may cause initial weight loss, but the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says they “tend to lead to weight gain once a person resumes a normal diet.” Maggie Michalczyk, RDN adds: “Cleanses are often synonymous with cutting something out of our diets but they don’t have to be. Focusing on eating a balanced diet and using supplements that support our bodies natural processes is a safe way to go about it.” When it comes to detox, consistency is key. And with the help of Flora’s supplements, we can safely make cleansing a part of our everyday routine.* Here’s how: Flor-Essence is a unique herbal solution that also provides our body with lots of antioxidant support.* Toxins like chemicals and pollutants are either free radicals themselves or cause free radical reactions, stressing our cells1 through a process called oxidative stress. But antioxidants1 help stabilize these free radicals, reducing their harmful potential.* Even more, Flor-Essence is designed to support multiple elimination pathways and our lymphatic system, which acts as a drainage system to help remove waste from the cells in our body.* Plus, it’s safe to consume regularly as a method of gentle and ongoing cleansing.* Ensuring that our body receives the right nutrients is something we can do every day to promote detoxification—especially those we often lack, like omega-3s. Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that facilitate processes throughout the body, fuel anti-inflammatory pathways, and may even support liver health6.* But our body can’t make them on its own, meaning we have to source them through diet or supplements. Flora’s Udo’s Oil™ is an ideal plant-based source of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. Made with organic flax, sesame, and sunflower seed oils, it contains the good fats we need, without the fats we should avoid. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
